Adrian Ross Duncan: He's Not Really at AstrologyAnswers.com

Adrian Ross Duncan, a genuine astrologer associated with the fake astrology site Astrologyanswers.com, responded to my questions about his integrity--questions raised by dozens of my readers--in an email I copied onto this blog in February 2016. Since then he has allowed his name to be used by Astrologyanswers.com homepage as the "founder" of the site, which he is not--it is owned and run by New Peak Media, Inc.--and on fake, mass-produced free email horoscope "readings" from  Astrologyanswers.com. He also appears in video promotions for the site. The homepage openly states that its readings are for entertainment only, not real.

In Duncan's own words:

Early last year, AstrologyAnswers asked me if I would help them promote the reports. As I believe in my reports, I am happy to promote them, which I have done with videos. However, the emails used by AstrologyAnswers were absolutely awful. So there is a stipulation in my contract that any mails using my name may be edited by me. This process of editing  lasted from May 2014 to December 2014, as their copywriters test the results of every edited mail. Unfortunately my name has been associated with some crappy emails in the process, which is regrettable. They keep writing new mails, so it is hard to keep track.

So don't take the name "Adrian Ross Duncan" seriously as a source of horoscopes, if you ever did. Especially free ones. Consumer complaints against the messages written under his name are piling up. His email defending and explaining himself I will leave on this blog as a historical record.

Adrian Ross Duncan, Astrologer: Real or Fake?

I emailed astrologer Adrian Ross Duncan because so many were asking me "Is he real or fake?" Here is the full email he sent me on January 19, 2016, clarifying his relationship with AstrologyAnswers.com, and discussing his own sites where you can buy reports directly from him. I asked if he had parted ways with AstrologyAnswers.com, which barrages customers with very cheesey emails signed "Adrian Ross Duncan."

Dear Sylvia:

… and thanks for writing. I get a lot of people writing in connection with AstrologyAnswers, so please excuse me if this mail does not exactly address your mail specifically. In answer to your specific questions, I don't think Astrology Answers has parted ways with me. They are always doing something strange, but basically I supply the reports they sell, and they are permitted to use my name to promote them.

As regards my own sites, www.astrowow.com is the most advanced and has a lot of free stuff. But within about 3 months my old site and new site will merge into a really beautifully designed new site. People will get redirected to www.astrowow.com

As you may know I have many astrological services… articles, my own websites astrowow.com and world-of-wisdom.com, I write books and even daily, weekly and monthly sun signs. It’s part of the busy life of working with astrology full time. I have also developed the World of Wisdom software programs, and recently I wrote and designed a really good prediction report – The Year Report. The reports I have developed are sent to customers in real time, and I have 3 to 4 companies who sell these reports, either anonymously or under my name. In my opinion these reports are amongst the best available on the market today, particularly the Year Report, which combines transits, progressions, planetary and age cycles and the solar return in amazing detail. 

By far the most successful of the companies selling my reports is AstrologyAnswers.com, which is affiliated to a marketing company called New Peak Media. I get a fixed monthly fee from this company, and they sell thousands of reports a month.

Early last year, AstrologyAnswers asked me if I would help them promote the reports. As I believe in my reports, I am happy to promote them, which I have done with videos. However, the emails used by AstrologyAnswers were absolutely awful. So there is a stipulation in my contract that any mails using my name may be edited by me. This process of editing  lasted from May 2014 to December 2014, as their copywriters test the results of every edited mail. Unfortunately my name has been associated with some crappy emails in the process, which is regrettable. They keep writing new mails, so it is hard to keep track.

Currently people who sign up get a free report, which has actually inaccurate (in the calculation of the Ascendant). This is an old system they were using before dealing with me. I have now redesigned this so that users will get a mini-report based on their birthdate. This report actually calculates a solar chart, scans it for the strongest aspect between personal planets and outer planets, and composes an interpretation. Furthermore it scans currents transits, finds the strongest outer planet transit, and adds that to the interpretation. That is what users will get – for free – so it is an excellent deal. But even this they keep changing. Also Astrology Answers sells 6 teaching videos which I designed, wrote and filmed, and these are doing very well on their site.

In the end I think they give good service, more personalized and better than anything else offered for free on the net. AstrologyAnswers otherwise conforms to industry standards, you can unsubscribe from their emails if you don’t like them, you can get refunds, and they give a lot for free.

As I mentioned in the beginning, I do get a lot of people writing to me – hence this mail, which explains things in detail. But please note, my affiliation with AstrologyAnswers is just a small part of my work and I cannot address their support issues. For this you need to go to the support channels of Astrology Answers.
